A Conversation with Elissa McLean - Border Diaries
The Windham World Affairs Council hosts monthly Salons for Members & Friends. Please join us on Wednesday evening (April 24 @ 6 pm) and consider becoming a member.
We will continue exploring immigration issues by welcoming Elissa McLean and Andy Winter to share their work at the border and preview their upcoming podcast 'Border Diaries'.
Elissa and Andy live in Putney but have been spending a lot of time on the border working with asylum seekers along the border wall near Sasabe, Arizona.
Elissa founded and directs Express Fluency in Brattleboro and Andy runs Realizing Human Potential. Together they founded two expedition-based high schools and spent many years bringing high school students to the border to explore immigration from multiple perspectives.
Join us for some dynamic conversation with your neighbors. Refreshments will be served. No registration is necessary.
